SPRING 2009 |
| Episode 1 – The Difference Between Us Everyone can tell a Norwegian from a Nubian, so why doesn't it make sense to sort people into biological races? Examine the contemporary science – including genetics – that challenges our assumptions about human groups. Date: Monday, April 6, 2009 |
| Episode 2 – The Story We Tell Hasn't race always been with us? Explore the roots of the race concept, including the 19th century science that justified it and how it gained such a hold over our minds. |
| Episode 3 – The House We Live In Race may be a biological myth, but racism gives different groups vastly different life chances. Forty years after the Civil Rights Movement, the playing field is still not level and “colorblind” policies only perpetuate inequality. Date: Monday, April 20, 2009 |
| FIRST Program (Sponsored by Graduate School) The Faculty Institute for Research, Scholarship, and Technology (FIRST) is workshop designed to familiarize new faculty with resources provided by the Graduate School, help them establish your research agenda, and acquaint them with tools to enhance their teaching and research. Topics include the grants process, finding funding for research and teaching, classroom technology, introduction to grant writing, compliance issues, budgets, intellectual property, contracts, and fiscal responsibilities. Beginning in FY 2008, faculty will be awarded $1,500 after completion of the FIRST program and submission of an external grant proposal. FIRST awards will be distributed to augment faculty departmental Start-Up funds and may be used to purchase laptop computers. For all other expenditures, please refer to the New Faculty Start-Up Funds web site.
